English Willow Cricket Bat FAQs

Why is English willow so expensive?

English willow is more expensive due to its superior grain structure, limited global supply, and the labour-intensive process of handcrafting each bat. Its performance qualities, like better ping, balance, and durability, make it the preferred choice for serious cricketers.

How long does an English willow bat last?

With proper care and regular maintenance, an English willow bat typically lasts between 1000 to 1500 runs or around two seasons of active use. Regular oiling, properly knocking-in, and protective edge tape can significantly extend its lifespan.

Are expensive cricket bats better?

Generally, yes. Expensive bats often use higher-grade English willow, offering a larger sweet spot, better pick-up, and more consistent performance. They're ideal for players seeking a competitive edge in matches.

What grade of English willow should I choose?

Grade 1 is ideal for serious or competitive players, offering the best performance and aesthetics. Grade 2 and Grade 3 are great for club-level cricketers or those looking for quality at a more affordable price. Junior players can also benefit from age-appropriate versions of each.

Is there a difference between adult and junior English willow bats?

Yes, junior bats are specifically sized and weighted for younger players, ensuring better control and confidence at the crease. However, they are made using the same quality English willow and techniques as adult bats.
